Support for SubStation Alpha subtitle files:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SubStation_Alpha
Only basic support is included. Files that use this usually do not display correctly when using these advanced features.
FF and RW better functions.
THUMBNAILS THUMBNAILS THUMBNAILS. Â something HAS to be done about them, they are not working very well at all.
Not sure if this has alreday been requested, but access to BBCi player would be nice.
I second this request. Please support forced subtitles. I have watched District 9 and youâre right, what the hellâs going on?
forcible subs worked PERFECT with my District 9 movie.
if you found your copy online, perhaps it was a bad copy.Â
HW supports it, so why not:
Support TrueHD, DTS-HD and LPCM surround bitstreaming from ALL containers!
I still have an old Audiotron device and still looking for something that can match what it does.  Maybe WD TV Live? Â
1. Brower Interface wanted to play music: Â
I see plenty of products out there on the market that can play mp3âs from my share drive, but all have a clunky interface via the tv screen and remote.  What the Audiotron did 7 or so years ago was allowed mp3âs to be played via a web interface.  It had a browser based interface that allowed me to select mp3s or m3u playlists.  Way ahead of its time and nothing I see out there now can do that.  I donât want to turn on my tv to play music.  Â
2. One better - iphone app to control my WD TV. Now that would two up anything else out there. Â
Iâd be happy with #1, but add #2 and it would be outstanding.
I bought a Samsung BDP3600 because it advertised it could play network mp3s.  It can but the interface is horrible and anyone with more than 100 albums would never use it.  TV & remote is the interface and it wonât play m3u playlists.  I got took.
Someone should close this thread. All written here is ignored, you need to post ideas in the ideas forum.
Ability to switch/toggle between âNormal (4:3)â and âWidescreen (16:9)â while watching video and not having to go all the back to the settings menu to do this.
Another request is a slideshow option when viewing your local pictures. Also, it would be nice if the slideshow automatically went into playing videos as well. USB keyboard support is nice, but I donât search youtube as much as I use the WD TV Live to simply play videos. Hulu streaming, or an identifyable linux option to stream Hulu to the WD TV Live is higher on my priority list
Hey how about making the folders explorer command less onerous? Right now when I browse by Artist among my thousands of MP3 files, each of whom is organized by folders, I get 8 big icons of folders at a time, which I have to scroll through one by one to read the folder titles. I have hundreds of artistsâ MP3s and that is woefully inefficient. I just want to see a list of, say, 20 artists per page and then scroll through pages until i see the name I want. I know I can also search for a name ,but i want the ability to just browse when Iâm looking for nothing in particular. How about updating the firmware to allow this? It would increase the utility a billion-fold.

you can do this on your TV remote. thatâs where i do mine. and yes, iâm connect via HDMI and it still works.
4:3, 16:9, WIDE FIT. i can toggle between all of them, no problem.

Unfortunatley it does not work with my TV and I have read other peopleâs posts where it doenât work for them either, so the best solution which work for all is for WD people to put the exiting option for this as part of the options that are available via the âOptionsâ button.

I guess that makes it pretty much the same as posting it in the ideas section, itâs ignored there too.
Actually WDC pretty much seems to ignore this whole forum

In the search window you can only input English characters.
The inability to stream Netflix videos from my Netflix account is the ONLY thing stopping me from acquiring the WD TV Live hardware now. Â Iâve read in a number of reviews that WD may add this ability in future updates to firmware. Â Will wait 'til then. Â Â
